Recycling of the refractory glass

Refractory glass cannot be recycled. Old glass, break-
age or otherwise unusable refractory glass, must be
discarded as residual waste. Refractory glass has a
higher melting temperature, and can therefore not be
recycled together with glass. In case it would be mixed
with ordinary glass, it would damage the raw material
and could, in worst case end the recycling of glass. It is
an important contribution to the environment to ensure
that refractory glass does not end up with the recycling
of ordinary glass.

7. Warranty

Read the entire user manual carefully to ensure
proper use and installation of your new Nordpeis
stove. After installation the stove should be
checked. Quadro Nordpeis benefits of a 5 years
warranty on sheet steal parts and 10 years on all
external cast iron parts.
The warranty requires the stove to be installed in
accordance with applicable laws and regulations, as
well as the user manual. Notification of damage and
possible consignment of parts for replacement must
be done immediately to the retailer where the stove
was bought. Any claim must be submitted with a dated
purchase invoice or a valid warranty card.
The warranty does not include consumables such
as: Thermotte®, smoke baffle, glass and gaskets.
Should any of the mentioned parts break, or need to
be changed due to wear and tear, new parts can be
ordered from your retailer. However, if a material or
production error can be documented on any of the
mentioned parts, the warranty is valid for 2 years after
the date of purchase.
The warranty does not include damages that are
caused by wrong installation or misuse of the stove,
e.g. incorrect draught regulation or use of incorrect fuel.
The warranty does neither include interference with
operations outside the control of Nordpeis, such as
chimney draught etc. There is no compensation for third
party damage or damage to other items caused by use
of the stove. The stoves have a plaque with the RRF
number 40 09 2200. The CE mark is placed:
Quadro 1: In the manual
Quadro 2: Inside the base
Quadro 3: Inside the base

8. Advice on Lighting a Fire

The best way to light a fire is with the use of fire lighters
and split small wood logs that are dry. Newspapers
cause a lot of ashes and the ink is damaging for the
environment. Advertising flyers, magazines, milk
cartons and similar are not suitable for lighting a fire.
Good air supply is important at ignition. When the flue is
hot the draught increases and door can be closed.
Warning: NEVER use a lighting fuel such as
petrol, paraffin, methylated spirits or similar for
lighting a fire. This could cause injury to you as
well as damaging the product.
Use clean and dry wood. The wood logs should dry for
a minimum of 6 months after being chopped. Humid
wood requires a lot of air for the combustion, as extra
energy/heat is required for drying the humid wood. The
heat effect is therefore minimal. In addition this creates
soot in the chimney with the risk of creosote and
chimney fire. The wood should have no more than 20%
moisture content.
Warning: NEVER use impregnated wood, painted
wood, plywood, chipboard, rubbish, milk cartons,
printed material or similar. If any of these items
are used as fuel the warranty is invalid, as they
can release dioxin gasses that may damage the
stove when burnt.
These gasses are also very harmful to you and
the environment.
In order to obtain an optimal combustion, the
temperature needs to reach 600-800ºC. It is
recommended to keep an even fire with a small amount
of wood. If too many logs are put on the hot ember, the
air supply will not be sufficient for reaching the require
temperature, and the gases will be released unburnt.
For this reason it is important to increase the air supply
just after adding the logs in order to have proper flames
in the burn chamber so that the gases are burnt. Open
the ignition vent control or leave the door slightly open
until the flames have established.
Note that too much air supply to the combustion may
create an uncontrollable flame that very quickly will
heat up the entire stove to extremely high temperatures
(valid when heating with closed or almost closed door).
For this reason you should never completely fill up the
burn chamber with wood.
Use split wood logs rather than whole round pieces of
wood. This will give a better heat efficiency and cleaner
combustion. It is also an advantage to let the wood
reach room temperature before being used as it will
burn better. The stoves from Nordpeis are intended for,
and only approved for, clean wood combustion.
